Packaging rules
Team details
We host the code in salsa.debian.org, maintaining the usual approach of git branching: debian [master], upstream and pristine-tar.
The d/control file usually contains: Maintainer: Debian Netfilter Packaging Team <pkg-netfilter-team@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Packaging helper
We use the "dh" command provided by debhelper to ensure we have short but expressive debian/rules files.
